Essays on Life in Haiti by Steven Werlin

The Purpose of the Site

The photo above was taken by Fremy Cesar. It is of a discussion group that studied Paulo Freire’s Education as the Practice of Freedom. Johny St. Louis is in the center. Asnel Bocage is on the left. I am on the right.

I moved to Haiti in January 2005. I’ve been writing regular essays since then about the various projects that my colleagues and I work on and about our lives in Haiti. More recently, I began adding photos, and soon plan to add audio clips.

This site can play a special role in the work. I hope that it will become a place where those who are curious or interested in the work can ask us questions or offer comments. The site can make it possible for all sorts of people to share in the learning we’re doing.
